INSPECT THE UNIT upon receipt. Any damage must be reported to the freight car-
rier immediately. It is the responsibility of the consignee, not the shipper, to file damage claims.
THE HMI BULB, if ordered with the unit, is included in the accessory kit packed with
the spotlight. DO NOT touch the quartz envelope when handling the bulb; fingermarks will burn into
the vessel, reducing light, and contributing to premature bulb failure. Handle the bulb by the metal
base caps only. The HMI bulb is not polarized, and the iginter lead can attach to either end.
DISMOUNT THE LAMPHOUSE COVER from the rear of the lamphouse by loosening
the (4) captive screws. Loosen the top bulb mounting bracket and remove the threaded nuts from the
ends of the HMI bulb. Pull the upper bulb mount clear of the reflector and insert the bulb through the
reflector holes. Slide the lower bulb end cap through the lower mounting opening; attach the igniter
lead and secure using the knurled nut. Swing the top bulb mounting bracket over the upper end cap;
attach the upper lead, and secure using the knurled nut. Tighten the top mounting bracket.
IF USING THE OPTIONAL FLOOR STAND ASSEMBLY, drop the legs to the
horizontal position and pin in place. The floor stand may then be moved on its casters to desired
location. IMPORTANT: Once the floor stand has been positioned, lower the leveling feet to transfer
the weight of the unit from the casters to the leveling feet. If the unit is to be permanently installed,
it is advisable to remove both casters and leveling feet, and bolt the stand to the floor.
INSERT THE POST of the yoke assembly into the nylon bushing at the top of the
floor stand tube. Position the yoke for right- or left-hand operation (as desired). Place the spotlight
head on the yoke assembly, making certain that the semicircular friction plate of the spotlight saddle
(see Figure 2, Item 41) is between the yoke and the brake clamping plate. Tighten the (2) handwheel
knobs on each side of the yoke allowing adequate end play for free operation, and tighten the (2) lock
knobs. Vertical movement of the spotlight head can be adjusted by the amount of torque applied to
the lower, spring-loaded braking knob against the friction plate.
SET THE BALANCE of the head assembly. Loosen the (2) hex nuts on each side
securing the saddle brackets to the spotlight base rail (see Figure 2, Item 66). Slide the spotlight head
inside the slots until the proper balance is achieved, and retighten the hex nuts.
THE SPOTLIGHT YOKE, as supplied, is designed for use with standard truss fixtures.
Truss mounting the TrussTrouper will depend largely on its application in any given venue.
